It says it is waterproof up to the box. That said, the pole will fill up with water so do not lift the coil up in the air or it will run in the box.

If I may suggest the coils r water proof. I bought a 10 inch coil and a 4 inch coil.. All waterproof.. BUT.. Check the seams on your coils. Some need some silicone or whatever.!

Good to point that out. I had that problem with my original 7" - screwed it and replace it with a 10"
